Hello Roelof,
I am sort lost at what you're saying here.
I've spent a bit of time looking at this and am not sure what to
do.
Thanks for your guidance, I am sorry if I am asking newbie
questions below:

how on earth do I put something in a header once I've received it

How do I see the template?

I don't understand the above at all.

%SetPattRegExp='(?is)(.*?)From:\s(.*?)\n(.*?)First\sName:\s(.*?)/nLast\sName:\s(.*?)\n'%-
RO> %RegExpBlindMatch='%Text'%-
RO> %SetHeader('To','"%SubPatt=_4_ %SubPatt=_5_" <%SubPatt=_2_>')%-
Not sure what the above 3 lines do, except it seems to be looking
for the user first name and last name?

the header as I know it only has the email address the person
gives on the form on the webpage they are entering their address
on. The first name and last name are fields on the form.

(how would I even execute another filter, I'm processing my

but is it possible to see an example of code like this. I've
never used outgoing filters, so this is very new.

RO> Why is it that your filter adds the address to your AB twice?
my mistake.
